The pistons shouldn't be much bigger, so it sounds like they just need a damn good bleed

If they truely are 236mm docs, then they are no bigger than nova his items, and as such any nova master cylinder will drive them fine. Infact the bigger Astra gsi brakes are fine too.

either ats have inverted the master cylinder seals or you have shagged rear brake cylinders.

i took the calipers off the car myself and would a bigger caliper be the same or better?

i will take it to another garage and get them to check for me
